[Xastir] Transverse Mercator problems

Hi All,

I've been using Xastir for a while with all sorts of maps but recently I 
have tried using some TM tiles and I'm having real problems.

The problem appears to be that the tiles (2000 pixels on each side, 
10kmx10km) are being rendered as square by Xastir when at my latitude 
(51:27:05.34, -00:56:55.8)  the should be rotated slightly clockwise.

Does anyone have any suggestions or is this a limitation of Xastir and 
I'm going to have to work out a way of modifying my tiles (all 4.5Gb)!

Here is the contents of one of the geo files:

FILENAME tile66.xpm.gz

IMAGESIZE 2000 2000

Many thanks
